I usually buy Seagram's or Tanqueray. This blows both out the water. I ordered the Asian Parsnip first and the Navy strength version tastes better.

Thoughts on Bombay Sapphire?



Best Gin I've ever had was made by my friend's former neighbour, Kit ...



Perfume Tree's pics


He'd perfected his recipe, but at the time was waiting for HK government's stamp of approval; before the branding and website and license to distill it, my friend and I would spend the occasional evening getting schnocked under the table in Kit's yard (pictured above, pretty sure that Tele body is my friend's)...

Kinda cool to see and experience the nascence of a brand of gin.

I like Bombay Sapphire, I usually keep it and New Amsterdam in my home bar, I also like Beefeaters. We have a local distillery makes a real good Gin, also.

@Barry while I'm not a big gin-drinker, yeah, my favourite used to be Bombay Sapphire. Now it's Perfume Tree which I can't find here in Canada yet.

Personally, I'm a beer drinker, the darker the better, but I like a Gin and tonic occasionally in summertime, and a bourbon or a single malt in the winter so I try to keep a little of those around, and Vodka, because I do love a good Bloody Mary for occasional Sunday brunch.

I think Scotch may be one of my favorites. But I also love bourbon (on the rocks or an old fashion), martinis (with gin, in case I had to clarify that ) and I do love me a good Bloody Mary or bloody Maria…

Yes, a Bloody Maria is a nice twist or even a well-made Michelada!

If you like a Bloody Mary, try having a Caesar...

If you get a chance, try Empress Gin (the purple one). I’m not huge on gin either (any more) but it was always my favourite. Think some places in ‘Berta carry it.

Beer fermented dough with a half cheese, half pepperoni on a well done crust. The piece de resistance was brushing the crust with melted President Butter and sprinkling it with Lawrey's garlic salt.

Our first crack at ciabatta. I did my best to be helpful; I kneaded the dough.
